Bio

Nigel Willem Canlapan (Mockingbyrd) is a Filipino born and Saudi raised Musician always trying to accomplish new feats even at a young age. The first time he heard music was when he couldn’t even muster the strength to crawl. He found a love for music once he hit the age of 6. He grew up mostly around rock, but a few years later, Nigel had found a new love for rap.

Moving on from Usher, he switched styles to 50 Cent, Ludacris, and most importantly - Eminem. The lyrical flow and the constant aggressive attacking voice Eminem has, along with a mixture of other styles ranging from MGK, Witt Lowry and Kendrick Lamar, is what really makes up his style. On top of being a lyricist, Nigel also produces beats, mostly on Logic Pro, but he has a fair understanding of other production softwares. Being 18, he still has a lot to learn and explore, but he has an incredible work ethic and stage presence. He’s determined to make the most of his time studying in LACM.
